#4610 The last 10 years – Single centre experience of gastrointestinal NEN

Introduction: Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) are rare and heterogeneous, comprising 2% of all malignancies, with progressively increasing incidence. Most arise sporadically and the most frequent primary sites are gastrointestinal and lung.

#4606 Neuroendocrine mess – Ectopic Cushing syndrome and severe hypokalaemia

Introduction: Cushing Syndrome (CS) is the condition resulting from hypercortisolaemia. Ectopic Cushing Syndrome (ECS) is responsible for up to 20% of all CS cases. Pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNEN) are responsible for 10-20% of those cases.

#4570 Diagnosis of carcinoid heart disease continues to be late delayed

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a serious complication of neuroendocrine tumours. It affects patients with carcinoid syndrome and results from fibrotic deposits on the heart valves. It significantly impacts patient prognosis.

#4537 The usefulness of circulating fibrosis markers in detection of carcinoid heart disease

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a potential serious fibrotic complication in patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs), affecting the heart valves. Early detection is crucial to avoid severe manifestations. NT-proBNP is suggested as an initial screening tool in detection of CHD; however, the value of NT-proBNP as a screening tool is questionable.

#4152 Valvular surgery in carcinoid heart disease – Indications and outcome

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NET) can release biogenic amines that can induce a fibrotic process in the heart valves known as carcinoid heart disease (CHD). Valvular replacement surgery is the standard of care, but such interventions are associated with significant morbidity and valid criteria for both selecting patients (pts) and timing of surgery are limited.
